Why do I receive a Java security warning?

Unsigned Applet

For development reasons, your NetGauge deployment contains both a signed (VoipApplet.jar) and an unsigned (LQApplet.jar) version of Ookla's Java applet. If you are presented with the following security warning, you are most likely using the unsigned applet in a production environment.

To fix this issue, you'll need to edit your test page and specify that the signed Java applet be used.

Open index.html in a text editor.

Find the line applet = "LQApplet.jar";.

Replace LQApplet.jar with VoipApplet.jar.

Save and refresh your browser.

Outdated Java Applet Manifest

Java versions 7u45 and higher now require developers to include specific permissions in the applet manifest. If the specific permissions are not present in the manifest, the user will see a security warning like the one below, stating that the application may put their computer and information at risk.

To remediate the issue, we’ve updated the necessary JAR file with the appropriate permissions included in the manifest. This update will replace the security warning with a simple message notifying the user that the website would like to access the Ookla Java applet.

To install the update, please download the latest version of VoipApplet.jar. Copy the new VoipApplet.jar file to your existing test folder, replacing the outdated VoipApplet.jar file. No other server side actions are needed, simply reload the test a browser.
